Muffins. Quite possibly my favorite breakfast pastry. Yes, I know….it’s a bold statement. Because there’s coffee cake and cinnamon rolls and donuts and scones….all of which are undeniably delicious. But there’s just something about muffins.

I love the fact that the flavor possibilities are endless, the fact that you can add streusel topping and drizzle them with glaze, the fact that everyone gets their own. 

They’re small and portable and you don’t feel quite as guilty eating them as you do donuts. And they’re the perfect way to make use of fresh fruit!

These Blackberry Muffins are my absolute new favorite, because BLACKBERRIES!!! They’re always are such a treat, and although I love eating them straight from the container, baking them into these muffins was the best decision I’ve made in a while.

If you love muffins as much as I do, you’re sure to fall in love with this recipe!

❄️ Can you use frozen berries?

Yes, you can definitely substitute frozen blackberries for the fresh ones. When using frozen berries, do NOT thaw them. Simply toss them in flour as you would the fresh ones and add to the batter in the same way.
